“I Live The Wonderful Life (And You Don’t!)”

Michael Busciacco lives by those words day in and day out, born May 6th, 1986, The youngest child of Linda and Michael Sr, Michael Anthony Busciacco entered this world with the ambition that life is to short to waste, you must live it to the fullest. At the tender age of 3, Michael discovered wrestling while flipping through the channels on his television in his former South Philadelphia home, it was from that moment on that it became Busciacco’s obsession from then on.

Being not so athletic throughout most of his life Busciacco thought he couldn’t cut it, had he decided whether or not to become a wrestler. It was then decided that he wanted to be the third man in the ring, a referee. In May of 2006 after remembering old adds and it’s long going reputation, he embarked on his dream and enrolled in “The World Famous Monster Factory Professional Wrestling School”. He learned all the traits that come with being a referee and all the insides of pro wrestling. He soon became the senior and for a long time only referee for the Monster Factory’s promotion Old Time Wrestling.

For well over a year Busciacco referreed a lot of historic battles and was the decision factor when madness would break out. By the end of 2007, things were changing in Old Time Wrestling, with new talent pouring in and the crowds really starting to grow every week. A referee can only call what he sees, but it had become apparent that the crowd could not except some of Busciacco’s calls. Busciacco was constantly given insults by the fans of “This Ref Sucks”. Week after week, no matter what the crowd could no longer except Busciacco’s calls and he had to also deal with the head officials of OTW day in and day out.

It became apparent in his mind that he was not going to be accepted by the fans, so he decided to do something about it. During a match up between Greg Hogya and “Hot Shot” Mike Reed, Busciacco made his mind set to cost “Hot Shot” the match be administering fast counts to Greg Hogya’s pinfalls and slow ones to Hot Shot’s. The fans caught on right away to his motives and after the match OTW Commissoner Jim Molineaux came out to debate with Busciacco only to be shoved by him. Busciacco was then barred from refereeing the remainder of the event. He then would attack Molineaux from behind and choke him thus being fired by OTW.

After dealing with being fired Busciacco vowed he would not disappear from OTW, he started to come and buy tickets to the weekly matches and sit in the crowd and voice his opinion. This lead to a scuffle with many men in OTW. It was decided that Busciacco would be allowed back in OTW if he defeated a wrestler One on One which he did.

Since then Michael Busciacco has become “The Highroller” living his life inside not only the wrestling ring, but in every major casino in the country. Living in seasonal Villa’s inside some of the most highly rated casinos. Having a wonderful summer home just outside Atlantic City, and being a honored guest where ever he goes. He’s managed many tops talents in Old Time Wrestling and always pops up with one surprise after the other.

Whether he is rolling the dice or rolling an opponent across the ring Michael Busciacco always wins and wins big.
